[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
You fail
You try half-hearted and fail
One foot drags behind you
One foot tripping in front of you
You fail
You spit out manna, God sends quails
Dry bones pile up behind you
One more mirage lies in front of you
[Chorus 1]
You can't go back, you can't go back
You can't go back, you can't go back
You can't go back, you can't go back
[Verse 2]
You failed
You sunk like Jonah to the whale
Big mouth follows behind you
Still small voice swallowed up by you
You failed
You picked the right time to fail
Got your past behind you
Got your future in front of you
[Chorus 2]
You can't go back, you can't go back
You can't go back, you can't go back
You can go on
You can go on
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You failed
You picked the right time to fail
Got your past behind you
Got your future in front of you
[Chorus 2]
You can't go back, you can't go back
You can't go back, you can't go back
You can't go back
You can go on
[Chorus 2]
You can't go back, you can't go back
You can't go back, you can't go back
You can't go back
You can go on
[Outro]
You can't go back
You can't go back
You can't go back
You can go on

What did The 77s say about "God Sends Quails"?
As Mike Roe explains in the liner notes to Sticks and Stones, “God Sends Quails” was an unpleasant experience:
This one nearly broke up the group! Written during the same period as the Island LP material, I introduced a very rough draft of the song for
the band’s perusal during the spring of 1988....
